Since we need to mow down all the fields and overgrown areas, I figured that I should get started on fixing the tractor. The lift hydraulics broke last fall when I was chipping all the damage from the Halloween snowstorm. Its been sitting idle since then. One crank and it started right up, so we used the front-end loader to haul away garden debris. Since it was the rear that was broken, I couldn't put anything on the Power-Take-Off (PTO), but the tractor and loader worked fine. As I was hauling debris, the PTO lever got stuck on a branch which caused hydraulic fluid to be spraying everywhere. Time to fix the tractor.

Since the new filter won't be here until Thursday, I will reassemble everything tomorrow except the filter. Time for a break and to go shopping for supper.
On the way to pickup Evan from work, we stopped at our favorite seafood store
West Boylston Seafood to buy some lobsters.
